What Were His Thoughts?

I went to Naomi for my first tattoo and from the beginning she made me feel welcome and at ease. The studio is amazing, as soon as you walk into it you feel comfortable and chill. I gave Naomi a rough idea as to what I wanted and she designed it amazingly to the style I liked. Would definitely do business here again and look forward to getting my second tattoo with Naomi.

#NAOHOAstory…Always With Me

NAOHOA

(1/3) I met this lovely lady whilst buying a coffee! She’d always wanted a tattoo in memory of her mother but didn’t feel comfortable in having it until we met…#NAOHOAstoryโ €

I can’t imagine what her journey was like through such loss, and was amazed at her strength and kindness.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € .โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € .โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € …without a doubt, your mum would be so very proud of you. ๐Ÿ’•โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € .โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € .โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € * information shared here is strictly confidential.โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

#NAOHOAstory…Henna Om

NAOHOA

This client came all the way from Birmingham for a tattoo she’d wanted for about 3 years. Being her first taste of ink, she wisely opted for the Temporary Tattoo Package, allowing her to try on her design in two different colours (black and brown). There was quite a lot of traffic on the way down and she had to leave early to head towards Portsmouth, but we managed to get the bulk of it done! Whenever she’s ready next, we’ll neaten it up with a thicker outline around the outside. ๐Ÿ™‚

(5/5) This is as finished as I’ll get for a long while, as she’s since moved to Canada! ๐Ÿ Still need to do a thicker outline around the whole thing to tidy it up, but well sat nonetheless for her first tattoo. ๐Ÿ˜Š #NAOHOAstory .

 

Testimonial:

“Naomi is an exceptional tattoo artist and highly skilled. I choose to get my first tattoo with Naomi because the studio was very welcoming, extremely clean and well organised. While I was there, Naomi made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I will definitely be going back there in the future.”

Testimonial

Had my 3rd Tattoo done by Naomi. She did a fantastic job what I wanted. She very different compare to the other tattoo palours I been in the past in a very good way. Her studio is very clean, well presented and welcoming.

Naomi is very nice lady, very professional, very patience to her clients. She has good future ahead of her. She gives very clear instructions of the aftercare of the tattoos also she gives nice thank you pack with clear instructions of the aftercare to which is very kindly of her.

No doubt I will be returning for future tattoos and highly recommend for someone to have first tattoo with her.

‘Elements’ Japanese Sleeve

This client was searching for a tattoo artist for around two years to bring his tattoo idea to life. After finding my ‘Four Seasons’ sleeve, he decided NAOHOA was the place to be! I was originally going to post this as a #NAOHOAstory but was too excited to share it, haha. Maybe I’ll add the other elements at a later date. ๐Ÿ˜›
